LOUISVILLE, Ky. — An eastern Jefferson County concrete plant has received final approval from the Louisville Metro Air Pollution Control District.
When the Sunshine Industries concrete plant plan was first introduced in August 2022, it faced plenty of push back from Lake Forest residents. They were concerned about the noise and air pollution, as well as traffic.
The company made changes to the plant including reducing the plant’s capacity, enclosing the mixer, building a berm and adding a turn lane.
Metro Council later approved the plan with conditions in January 2023:
- The plant can't use Aiken Road for its concrete or supply trucks full of rocks and sand
- The plant must plant evergreen trees across the property line to help hide the view
